Texas State Cemetery

I just got back from a two week vacation.  Drove to Galveston to pick a week-long cruise and then took several days to drive home.  I did minimal waymarking on Grand Cayman - picked up 5 visits.  I am processing my pictures coming home backwards, starting with the stop we made at the Texas State Cemetery in Austin.  This should be a definite stop for anyone interested in history, sports, or just nature as the grounds themselves are beautiful.  I took 42 pictures and made 56 waymark visits from these.  Here are some of the highlights:
 Stephen F. Austin
Gravesite of the "Father of Texas"

 Benjamin McCullogh
Confederate Civil War General killed at Pea Ridge, Arkansas

 Albert Sidney Johnston
Highest Ranking Confederate General killed in battle
Died at Shiloh

Cenotaph to Tom Landry
Appropriate that the famous "houndstooth" hat
appears on the cenotaph.
Great Cowboys Head Coach
